Founders & Coders

Founders & Coders has given me an amazing foundation from which I am certain I can begin a great career in the Technology Industry. I partook in the 16 week Bootcamp, which took me from a novice to an advanced level in an amazingly short period of time. It is a very motivational and energetic environment which encourages teamwork. It also holds multiple weekly meet ups for beginners to get into coding. I cannot stress how great this place has been to me and my colleagues. Will always recommend this place.

At Founders & Coders you’ll not only develop your programming skills in the short space of time, you’ll also learn to how work well with others, be encouraged to contribute to helping develop the course itself, and work out of your comfort zone regularly to push you to higher levels. Simply put, the course will help you grow as an individual, and you’ll leave the course with highly valuable attributes that many employers look for. The course reviews here sum up the course well, in my opinion the best thing about Founders & Coders are the core values shared by everyone- in short; every member is wonderfully motivated about making a positive difference to the world through technology, it’s inspiring. Applying to the course and completing the 16 weeks has been one of the best decisions of my life, I cannot recommend it enough!

What surprised me about Founders and Coders was its key to success was a group of people in a room committing to learning together. It's so simple but deceptively powerful. It was one of the hardest, most intense experiences of my life, Founders and Coders doesn't hold you hand, it teaches you how to learn. I learnt more in 16 weeks than I did in 3 years, met some extremely talented people who I want to continue working with and am really excited about my future in software development.

I learnt more during the last four months than at any other time of my life. It is exactly what my university experience should have been like and all without the £30,000 debt. What makes Founders and Coders so great is the people. The entry requirements are tough and this ensures that you are surrounded by intelligent, switched on individuals. Everyone has pushed me to be better every day, I would not be anywhere near as far in my coding career if it was not for this course. As well as the skills I have picked up, there are the friends that I have made. The atmosphere in the space is one of the most welcoming, accepting and friendly I have ever encountered, I will have a hard time leaving!

I've just finished Founders & Coders and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's an amazing environment to learn in, surrounded by people who are genuinely interested and excited about what they're doing. The support that you get throughout the course is really good but you are also challenged and certainly not spoon-fed. The fact that you learn to write vanilla javascript before using any framewiorks gives you a really good understanding of the language but there's also a lot of room for pursuing technologies you're interested in. What has also stood out for me is how welcoming the community is, both during and after the course - cohorts tend to keep in touch with others on the course, as well as those from previous cohorts, and continue to help each other improve.

Founders and Coders has given me an excellent education in coding. Friendly and challenging the course is well structured to cover the latest trends. Learning and building all take place in a collaborative environment, where team work is emphasised and encouraged. TDD, git, mobile first, agile development are all covered. A fantastic place to learn to code ran by great people.

Founders and Coders is a full stack JavaScript course. It is an intense but extremely enjoyable collaborative learning experience. It has been life changing and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in becoming a developer.

Founders and Coders has taught me in an intensive 16 weeks, the principles for being a full stack developer. I have been given a great introduction to a knowledgeable, experienced and up to date community of developers and feel very little restrictions to my development as a developer.
